Ok, but couldn't this be done more generally, for all importers using
HTTP?  E.g., could we have a variant 'http-fetch/retrying' of 'http-
fetch' that automatically retries a number of times?  Then the retrying
functionality could almost trivially be used in other HTTP-using
importers as well.

Greetings,
Maxime.
